Tom,

You didn't answer my question! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/giggle.gif" alt="" /> I actually gave 3 possible sources of such "feelings". So, I'll ask you again, HOW does one know if a particular "feeling", "leading", "prompt", etc., is directly from God? And if one cannot be absolutely positive of the source, then can one legitimately claim that "God told me, xxxxxx!"? or "The Spirit led me to xxxxxx!"? If one is wanting to make such claims, then I would strongly suggest that if one is wrong, then this is nothing short of breaking the Third Commandment, the topic of which just so happens to be this week's study in the Westminster Shorter Catechism in the "Faith of Our Fathers" Forum. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

The same argument for speaking in tongues is used by those who practice and/or support that phenomena too. Since it is happening, they say, it MUST be from God, right? Otherwise, where else would the ability come from? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/rolleyes2.gif" alt="" /> Gee, I can think of at least two other sources which have nothing to do with God.

In His Grace,
